Depression Counseling in Miami Gardens, FL.

Clients who suffer from depression can benefit from my unique form of therapy that helps to recognize negative and irrational thought patterns while learning to replace these thoughts with more realistic, positive and health promoting methods of thinking. I also use basic meditation and relaxation techniques as a tool to decrease feelings of hopelessness, apathy, and sadness while improving overall well-being. Working through depression can help clients to find a light in the dark tunnel and develop ways to not only decrease depression, but improve overall functioning in life. Clients learn about who they are at a deeper and more compassionate way through this method.

Are you feeling hopeless, unmotivated, or not your usual self? No matter what you do you can't feel better? You are not alone. It's so common for people to feel alone when they are struggling with depression. Some people don't realize they are depressed. Depression can look and feel different depending on who you are and why you are depressed. Sometimes it is caused by a specific event, but other times you can't quite put your finger on why you feel this way. Some signs of depression are loss of motivation, changes in sleep, and increase or decrease appetite. Fortunately there is hope! We can learn to manage your symptoms so you can find relief. Don't wait! Therapy will help!

Depression is a term that we throw around casually to express our overwhelming sadness or frustration with a situation, yet if you have ever suffered from clinical depression you know that it amounts to much more. The darkness, and isolation experienced by a person with clinical depression can significantly impact the most treasured and important part of themselves. Sometimes people express that they are a shell of themselves or that their true self has been kidnapped by depression.

Sometimes we think of depression as being "stuck"or being "at the bottom of a pit." I believe that strategies for avoiding or withdrawing from the dull pain of depression often contain the very hooks that keep the blues rigidly in place. I work with you to explore the situational, contextual, and emotional aspects of your depression and collaborate with you to get unstuck, raise the bottom of the pit to a better place for you, and ban the blues for good.

I utilize relational approach in working with clients with issues of depression. Client explore the meanings of depression in terms of physiological, psychological, or relationships connectivity. Clients examine steps that have worked in managing symptoms, or not worked. Through the process of therapy, clients become aware of skills to manage and optimize functioning; thereby reinforcing that depression is the problem and they are not the problem. As such, they explore and implement healthy life choices in controlling the symptoms with medication management, social engagements, exercising, relaxation, prioritizing, time management, and identify a safe person to help reflect arising needs.

Therapy offers a powerful and multifaceted approach to navigating depression, and when incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), its benefits are amplified. CBT provides practical tools to identify and challenge negative thought patterns that fuel depressive symptoms, fostering more realistic and positive thinking. Simultaneously, EMDR can address underlying emotional distress, including past adverse experiences or traumas that may contribute to depression, by reprocessing these memories in a safe and controlled way. This combined approach not only equips you with coping mechanisms for present challenges but also helps to heal the roots of emotional pain, leading to more profound and lasting relief from depression, enhanced r

If you’re feeling down, are lacking motivation, or lacking motivation, you’re not alone. The demands of work and home life can take a toll on any man. Not many understand the unique pressures you face, and this can be frustrating, lonely, and isolating. Whether you feel like things are falling apart, or you’re still hiding it pretty well, there is hope. I often use EMDR therapy and a faith-based perspective to help men uncover and heal the source of their issues, and discover their peace, hope, and motivation in life. One of the insidious parts of depression is that while you’re in the fog, it’s hard to be objective. I will help you walk through this fog until we get to the other side.

You did not choose depression, and it is not something that can simply be “shaken off.” Depression is real, life-altering, and can convince you that happiness or peace will never return. Yet depression does not define you. Together, we can acknowledge its weight while also challenging the painful story it tells. My role is to walk with you through the heaviness, to hold space for the difficulty, and to help you discover that hope and healing are possible. You do not have to face this alone.

Depression can be highly incapacitating. It may not only affect every day functioning (increased work absenteeism, lack of energy, decreased pleasure, and reduced productivity, etc.), but also a person’s physical health (higher propensity for illness and worse prognosis for such chronic illnesses as asthma, arthritis, diabetes, cancer and heart disease). We approach the treatment of depression practicing an eclectic approach that includes: the exploration and Socratic questioning of negative views of self, and the world and the future, the revaluation and modification of these views, the exploration of deeply rooted feelings of abandonment and loss that can be fueling the depressive outlook, and....

Depression can make it difficult to make the changes that you know are good for you. The lack of energy makes it hard to do what may make you feel better. In my over two decades of working with individuals I have been able to help people understand why they are feeling the way are and begin to make the changes that make sense to them. Using cognitive behavioral techniques and getting to the root of the depression helps. Having someone compassionate and caring walk through this with you makes all the difference.
